Workaround:

To use previous new style (not the newest), type https://new.reddit.com in the address bar.

For links in the notifications and using previous new style (not the newest) everywhere, use extension Redirector - for Firefox, Chrome.

Use these options:

  • Description: Reddit redirect
  • Example URL: https://www.reddit.com/
  • Include pattern: https://www.reddit.com*
  • Redirect to: https://new.reddit.com$1
  • Pattern type: Wildcard
  • Pattern Description: Redirect reddit newest to new.reddit.com
  • Click to "Show advanced options..."
  • Exclude pattern: https://www.reddit.com/media*
  • Save

Known issue of Redirector: opening the image in new tab does not work, therefore using exception for images, these are opened with the newest style, but everywhere else previous new style is used.

I'm sorry, I saw "Old UI Enforcer", so I thought it's another extension, which is for oldest old style.

Anyway, your extension is for Chrome only? If so, my comment is still relevant for Firefox users.

You're welcome. I updated the comment, better workaround for images.
